Rich customer centric experiences in stores
An optimal POS implementation introduces new features quickly and improves operational efficiency without increasing complexity and running costs. SkillNet provides the following services to modernize and implement optimal POS solutions.
Improving Customer Experience – Transforming POS Systems
A modern Point-of-Sale (POS) solution is critical to deliver the enhanced digital experience customers expect in stores. A POS implementation should be able to introduce new features quickly and improve operational efficiency without increasing complexity and running costs. Retailers have many options to improve their existing POS systems. From an upgrade or replacement of the existing POS application to re-engineering and transformation of existing implementation.
SkillNet helps retailers transform their POS systems globally across all of these options. Our teams of expert consultants provide services from solution and customer journey design to implementation and managed support at scale. Based on our experience working with POS, SkillNet has also developed a set of IP-based tools – Modern Commerce Engine. These tools help retailers measure and optimize their POS solutions.
